LAb[au] | Framework f5X5X5

Fondation Vasarely, Aix-en-Provence

Installation, Belgium, 2007-2009

Framework, a luminous and kinetic sculpture, is made up of five 2x2m modules divided up into 5x5 squared elements that make up the final 5x5x5 matrix. The 375 ‘frames’, some of which are static, others kinetic, are all fitted with LEDs to illuminate their areas. They constitute programmed elements that suggest different, kinetic and luminous, operating modes. The base of the installation contains 50 infra-red sensors that enable the sculpture to react to the presence and position of the viewers. The installation is a surface of communication that transcribes environmental data into a game of light, movement and reflections. (translation : Caroline Newman).
